Oblivion (Larry AU Stylinson MSBK Finale)

Chapter 8

There has been tension in the air all morning and I figure I might have crossed the line yesterday afternoon.

Louis wont even glance at me and hasn't spoken to Ethan all afternoon. He keeps his distance from and although that is what I wanted, I can't help but feel guilty for seeing my son more crankier than usual.

Don't let him get attached.

This is for the best.

"You dumbarse, just fucken tell em already. We tried to keep you apart so he would go to school. But look, he dropped out to babysit Ethan."

Edward drops a box on the bed and shakes his head.

"What is this?"

Its fairly big, but light. I peek in and realize what he's kept over the years.

"Have you bought Louis a present?"

"No."

"Then here ya go. Let his birthday present be the truth."

I scatter everything inside the box and debate it for a moment, turning over to see Ethan laying down on the floor not playing with his toys. He looks fairly down, and I know it's because Louis hasn't paid any attention to him.

"Think about how this will affect his future. Growing up with only parent has never been easy. The only reason I could handle it, was because I had william and mom was never that far. Ethan only has you if you dont let Louis into his life."

It angers me how much he tries now to act like the problem solver, when he was the main source in the first place. If it was up to me, I would have put all the truth on the table and see where life took it from there.

Now were stuck in a web full of lies and it has slowly over taken our lives. Pretending I was never affiliated with this family before Louis is crap because they were once mine, but there's nothing good in that truth either.

"He turned 18 today Harry. He's in charge of his decisions now. Me nor William have any say in what he does. Well....at least in America when we go back Tell him."

"You act like if it's so easy to just come out with it. He doesn't even believe the story we tell him now."

"Why should he.....it's not real."

Edward shrugs and yeah, that makes sense but it shouldn't.

"C'mon. You missed the feast already. I know you dont want to join the celebration, but you can at least come celebrate Christmas. Avoiding Louis isn't going to solve your problems."

"Im not avoiding him. It's vice versa."

"So you're telling me, he's been moping around all day because he's been avoiding you, willingly."

"Yes."

Edward rolls his eyes at me and I flick him off. It doesn't make sense, but I haven't done anything. If I knew he was gonna take what I had said the previous day so seriously, I would have stuffed a sock down my throat right there and then.

"Harry."

"You know what, just take Ethan. He hasn't been with Ethan all day because I've been around."

"You take him his child. How about a 'Happy Birthday Louis, this is our son, and throw in a merry Christmas while you're at it too.'

"Haha fucken funny Edward."

I grab a pillow off the bed and aim it at Edward as he runs out the room. He escapes unharmed, but I vow to myself I well get him back before this vacation ends.
